difference between 3BN and 3MB head
-
I wouldnt bother, the performance between the 2 alone should be hardly noticable... You still wont win any dragraces...

@Jens-Eskildsen I beg to differ. As said, most of the power of a two stroke can be found in the cylinder head. It's well worth investing money into the head.
As said, don't take my word for it, read that book.
The head alone won't win races, but it's a really good place to start, other mods like exhaust, jetting and intake will see noticeable gains.
Although the single one thing I'd recommend over anything else is a custom ignition.

As a genral rule yes, but this was specific between the 2 heads listed by the PO.
Heck, some people even tried and had a hard time noticing any difference.So I still stand by my comment, I dont think its worth the cost for us foreigners who cant just get a head fixed for 35 quid. Most shops here charge you about 35 quid for just walking in to the shop. I think a normal skimjob is more than 35 here in Denmark. Let alone any custom work.

@scotty Correct the compression is simply getting the compression ratio back to how Yamaha specify it.
The Squishband determines how the combustible mix is compressed.
I suggest if you really want to know more that you perhaps read a book on the subject. I would be lying if I said I know what to do, it's a tuners job. I would suggest Graham Bell's Two Stroke Performance Tuning as a good book.
